Contradictions

Message:

I'll continue with what I already did instead of backtracking, but did think it was too good to be true. I would say that the rules read contradictory in that last part though. As you indicated, it says to continue To the Death, which is expected. Then it has you evaluate and avoid combat if you don't have the liability. If the last part is simply to do the 50-50 roll to possibly acquire the liability, then the language about avoiding combat has no meaning. Avoiding the combat would at the very least mean that you stay in the area and roll Big/Little rather than To The Death, otherwise what does it mean? In looking at the other entries for Calamity, I see the same language, so I definitely need to run this right in the future.

As I said before, I'm not trying to be combative or rules lawyering here, but seeking to understand. I realize I was using direct language, but wanted to avoid ambiguity.

Yours,
